Definitions

  • the invention relates to a high-pressure cleaning device with one of an air-cooled electric motor driven by a gear, a piston pump comprising a swash plate on which a pump head is attached with a suction connection and a pressure connection.
  • Such high-pressure cleaning devices can contain a cleaning liquid, For example, water can be supplied via the suction connection.
  • the cleaning fluid is pressurized by the piston pump and can be connected to it via the pressure connection, for example connected pressure line are delivered.
  • the piston pump are usually provided reciprocable pistons that the swashplate. This is rotated by the electric motor offset, whereby a gear is used that the rotary movement from a motor shaft of the electric motor to the swash plate transfers.
  • air cooling is used (EP-A-0 503298).
  • the cleaning effect of such high pressure cleaning devices is from achievable pressure (for example 90 bar) and the volume of the pro Unit of cleaning fluid dispensed, i.e. the flow rate, dependent.
  • achievable pressure for example 90 bar
  • volume of the pro Unit of cleaning fluid dispensed i.e. the flow rate
  • the pump must be suitably powerful Be equipped with an electric motor.
  • this has to do with the related size of the electric motor a remarkable Weight and an unsatisfactory handling of the high-pressure cleaning device result.
  • the object of the present invention is a generic high-pressure cleaning device so that a good cleaning effect with improved handling and reduced Weight can be achieved.
  • This task is the beginning of a high-pressure cleaning device described type according to the invention solved in that the electric motor, the gear, the piston pump and the pump head in the longitudinal direction of the high-pressure cleaning device arranged one behind the other are and that the electric motor is designed as a universal motor with a stator package and a rotor, the length of the stator package is at least 1.15 times the rotor diameter.
  • Air cooling of the electric motor results.
  • a ventilation unit is used, which is an air flow generated in the longitudinal direction of the electric motor.
  • Heat dissipation is the expansion of the corresponding cooling surfaces of the Longitudinal electric motor.
  • the air cooling of the electric motor due to the longitudinal air flow also good heat dissipation the remaining parts of the high-pressure cleaning device. It has been found that by means of the configuration according to the invention the heating of the electric motor even in continuous operation relatively is kept low; this has the consequence that the electric motor can be heavily loaded even in continuous operation, without causing a Overheating is coming. Due to the effective cooling can An electric motor compared to known high-pressure cleaning devices with lower nominal power are used, the one with maximum Power can be operated so as to have the same cleaning effect can be achieved like comparable high-pressure cleaning devices with electric motors higher nominal power but less resilience. Since that Weight of the engine accounts for a significant proportion of the total weight of the High pressure cleaning device represents the use of a smaller one Electric motor for a considerable reduction in the total weight. This in turn has better manageability of the high-pressure cleaning device result.
  • a particularly effective cooling of the electric motor is achieved that a radial fan is used as a ventilation unit is positioned between the electric motor and the transmission and a Airflow from the engine towards the pump head of the high pressure washer formed.
  • the use of a radial fan has the advantage that, in contrast to the usual axial fans can also work against an existing air pressure without its speed decreases.
  • the radial fan sucks the cooling air from Electric motor on and presses them in the longitudinal direction of the high pressure cleaning device components connected to the electric motor along.
  • the cooling air comes first of all with the electric motor in contact.
  • the heat transfer from the electric motor to the cooling air is The greater the temperature difference between the electric motor, the better and cooling air is, therefore, the not yet heated cooling air a particularly good heat transfer, i.e. a particularly effective Cooling of the electric motor achieved.
  • the cooling air is then from the radial fan along the gearbox and along the piston pump in Pressed towards the pump head, where there is further heat dissipation he follows
  • the high-pressure cleaning device an the air flow along the outside of the electric motor towards one of the radial fan opposite end of the electric motor arranged collector and from there through the electric motor towards comprises the guide element guiding the radial fan.
  • the cooling air is thus initially guided along the outside of the electric motor, a flow reversal occurs at the collector and the cooling air enters the electric motor, flows through it to the radial fan and then towards the pump head of the high-pressure cleaning device.
  • This is due to the extensive contact of the cooling air the electric motor results in particularly good heat dissipation.
  • Collector of the electric motor is completely from the cooling air flows around.
  • the electric motor is therefore very powerful even in continuous operation resilient, i.e. it can run practically continuously with maximum performance be operated without overheating.
  • the guide element as the electric motor receiving motor housing is designed, which along the Forms the flow channel leading the outside of the electric motor, that connects between about the same amount as the Opening facing away from the collector end face of the electric motor of the motor housing and the collector. So there is no separate Guide element used, but the motor housing is designed in such a way that it not only protects the electric motor guaranteed, but additional guides the cooling air along the electric motor and thereby allows good cooling.
  • the motor housing forms the motor housing on the outside of the electric motor Flow channel and points away from the collector Front of the electric motor on an opening that over the Flow channel communicates with the collector.
  • the Cooling air can flow through the opening in the flow channel of the motor housing enter, then she will stay at the Along the outside of the electric motor until it hits the Collector meets where it enters the electric motor and flows through this to the radial fan.

There the cooling air enters the electric motor and flows through through this to the radial fan and from this inside the Gearbox housing along the gearbox.

It is advantageous if an air-permeable, Sealing element impermeable to dust and splash water for example made of plastic.
  • An additional weight reduction of the high-pressure cleaning device can be achieved in that the motor housing and / or the gear housing are made of plastic.
